[QUOTE="SouthFla, post: 453042, member: 7196"] Howdy, I’ve looked through a ton of the threads in this section and have not really found the answer to a question. Most explain in detail the makeup of their grain recipe with respect to ingredients and crude protein (CP) when asked, “What is the best way to finish a steer (or heifer )?”. Respondents to the question will invariably casually state in their grain recipe, “Give hay free choice”, “Give a little hay”, “I don’t give any hay”, etc. Most seem to be in the 12% range for CP when talking about their grain makeup. However, if you combine hay with grain ( which my research shows you must ) the CP level of the grain is modified by the CP level of the hay. My question : What is the ideal percentage of crude protein overall in dry matter intake when finishing a steer / heifer? I apologize if this has been discussed before but I did do a google search of the this forum and read a bunch before posing. [/QUOTE]
